I’m all for getting some girls together and going skinny dipping. There is a 99% chance that something may evolve from that outing and lead to you knocking it out either in the pool or back at your place.

What probably isn’t such a good idea is having a 15 year old girl go skinny dipping with you – when at the time you were 28.

Utah’s House majority leader said late Thursday he paid a woman $150,000 to keep silent about going nude “hot-tubbing” with her when she was a minor a quarter century ago.

In a statement on the House floor, (R) Kevin Garn, 55, said he paid her to keep quiet about the incident during his unsuccessful U.S. congressional bid in 2002, but did not have sexual contact with her.

You know who else said that and ended up getting caught?

The chick involved in the story, Cheryl Maher, had this to say about the whole thing:

This has just been a nightmare for me,” Maher said in a telephone interview with the newspaper from New Hampshire. “I just want to tell the truth because it’s part of the healing process for me.

The healing process started when he cut you a check for $150,000. Sounds like someone is just looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
